Hi NG,

I found some code snippets for adding a small fortune-cookie, when you
send out emails, but I'm getting this bug for some strange reason:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Can't compile fortune file
  /home/madsj/docs/ascii/misc/fortunes/usenet") signal(error ("Can't
  compile fortune file /home/madsj/docs/ascii/misc/fortunes/usenet"))
  error("Can't compile fortune file %s"
  "/home/madsj/docs/ascii/misc/fortunes/usenet")
  fortune-compile("/home/madsj/docs/ascii/misc/fortunes/usenet")
  fortune-in-buffer(nil nil) fortune-to-signature()
  run-hooks(mail-setup-hook) mail-setup(nil nil nil nil nil nil)
  mail(nil) * call-interactively(mail) execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

I have these lines in my ~/.emacs, that should control the fortune
cookie thing:

(require 'fortune)
(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook 'fortune-to-signature)
(setq fortune-dir "/usr/share/games/fortune"
      fortune-file "/usr/share/games/fortune/fortunes")

But I still get this weird error. Can anyone please help me ?

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.
